So just for fun what excuses to you make for not working out! I am tired is one I find comes into play. After working a 10 hour day I can find that excuse pops in my mind quite easily. I am trying to have the mindset that if I am not ill then there is NO EXCUSE! I know it makes me feel better and I have come to far to slack off now. So let's here it! What is the excuse you use the most?

    Hmm. My workouts are scheduled. I don't really think about not working out. But sometimes sht happens. Today I have a work-related golf appointment that conflicts with my workout. Shrugs.

    I schedule my workouts and stretch times and just don't give myself the option of making excuses.

    I don't want to go to the trouble of changing clothes to work out. (yep, I'm just that lazy sometimes)

    I try to make excuses, but then I think, "Hey do you want that strawberry shortcake tonight or not? Get your lazy *kitten* on that treadmill and work it off!" :laugh:

    What's more important...clean dishes, kitchen, and clean underpants, or workout? The cleaning usually wins.

    Warm bed is just sooo much more inviting than the cold pavement. I try to get my workout done first thing in the morning to avoid the excuses.

    It's too hot, I'll workout when it gets cooler.

    Soon replaced by: It's too cold, I'll work out when it gets warmer.

    Too tired, no time. Both valid excuses on occasion.

    My self-defeating excuse is that I'm too fat now to be flexible enough to work out.:cry:

    I have not worked out since last Friday :ohwell: My excuses thus far have been: too hungover, too tired, too busy and too hot! I am determined to get out for a run tonight, but as the 3:00 slump settles over my body, I'm not 100% sure I'm going to make it...

    Usually my excuses have been "I'm tired" or "it's too late to workout now" or "but there's more productive things to be doing....like...uh...laundry and stuff". I need to knock it off. I wanted to go walking after the gym last night, and instead I went home. I did about 45 minutes of exercise, but I wanted to walk more. Nope...didn't happen. :(
